C)density slope
D)continuous variable

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A probability distribution of a continuous variable is conceptualized in terms of a probability density function, which describes the relative likelihood of observing different values of the variable within a certain range. Qualitative variables cannot be described using a probability distribution, and while discrete variables can be described using a probability mass function, they are not continuous and therefore do not have a probability density function. Density slope is not a commonly used term in statistics.
